Thai Onzon - Cochrane

I was googling restaurants in Cochrane when Thai Onzon came up and at first I was a bit skeptical because historically towns don't always have the most authentic Asian cuisine. However, all the reviews were stellar so decided to give it a try. Its a vegetarian restaurant with vegan options. I am neither a vegetarian or vegan and still enjoyed my food very much! I love how the restaurant is actually a cozy house, and that its run by two sisters. I liked how they put a little bit of background about their restaurant and themselves in the menu. The menu was expansive, and included a good variety of different appetizers, noodle/rice dishes, curries, etc. My friend and I both got Thai Iced Tea to drink $4.50) and it was soooo good! I ordered the pad see ew and she got the red curry. It was loaded with a variety of veggies and both dishes were flavoured well. One thing to note is that their prices are very reasonable $12 a dish). I want to come back and try some other dishes!

I've been trying to try Thai Onzon for quite some time but have often found them closed when I'm in town (they aren't open Sun/Mon or between lunch and dinner and the sisters that run this place seem to go on month long vacations) Finally we got there while they were open and I was delighted. They cater to vegans and gluten free folks here which made being a vegetarians easy as pie. I found the lunch menu quite reasonable. The food was delicious (we had rose dumplings and I had #35 but I'm blanking on the name) The portions weren't huge but I was satisfied and the presentation is adorable with lots of attention to the little details. With asian fair I often get an upset stomach but I handled my meal just time. For dessert I had chocolate banana cake and hubs had banana fritters. The fritters were great but as a gluten eating person I have had many better cakes. That's the only thing I consider a miss the cake. But, it might be just the treat a celiac needs so I won't be too harsh here. Will definitely plan to return to try out some more menu items...

Great food, healthy, good art on the veggies. Great service, child friendly . I will recommend to all the people that wants something good for your body.

We headed to this restaurant for dinner with our close friends who are vegetarian. I love meat and any place they suggest has been AMAZING!! I left full and satisfied without the need for meat. The location is a quaint home (owners live upstairs) and the restaurant is quite small with a small patio. At the time we visited there was a large party of 20+ so we were lucky to score a table for 4 in the corner of the restaurant. The blue tea was awesome. Odd smell and at first I was confused by the BRIGHT blue colour but it tasted great and good for you! Great antioxidants! We ordered a bunch of curries and steamed rice and every dish was full of flavour and cooked with love. Love the dishes that they are all served on. The phad thai I was a bit skeptical about as I normally order with chicken and shrimp but their vegetarian version was great! Loved that it wasn't fluorescent red as some places use red food colouring to attain the colour. Now the desserts were to die for ... of course the staple deep friend bananas always popular and my fav! We also ordered the Thai Crepe with condensed milk OMG! We ordered double the order because they were so good!! We will definitely be back for a visit especially for that dessert phad thai! It's also good to note that they are Thai Gluten Free, Vegetarian, Lacto Ovo vegetarian and Vegan !

The food here is AMAZING! I had heard it was, so we decided to head out and meet the parents for dinner. I know one member of our little group was skeptical, as everything is vegetarian, so how on earth could it be delicious filling?!?! They won him over though! We ordered a variety of dishes and had them all served family style, so we could all try a little of everything. We were not disappointed by anything. It all tasted so fresh and the dishes were colourful as well. A special shout out to the fried rice absolutely delicious I normally skip the fried rice most places, so I am glad I didn't. I cannot wait to go back and continue to work our way through the menu. Each dish that went past our table intrigued us so much to try! Make a reservation. The restaurant is small and busy. They are smart to keep the size manageable. They do appear to have takeout as well, so that is always an option. The staff are fantastic and attentive. The ambiance is warm cozy! Save room for dessert! We didn't wish we had.
